  Yes I know what you mean, when I was shown that step to mark the end of the zipper. No more wobbly finishe for meat the end either. Learnt another little tip to finish the opening yesterday, I will have to share soon.

  Thank-you for these great instructions. Even though I have been inserting invisible zips for years, you have added a tip that I am going to find very useful.

    Can you believe that it is the simple idea of marking the zip with chalk pencil – step 7. It has never occurred to me before to do that and I often get a wobbly finish at the bottom of my zip, simply because I don’t have both sides of the fabric at equal lengths. Light bulb moment!!!!
